The 6 Pairs of Jeans Every French Woman Owns
We talk a lot here atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing about the classic aesthetic of French women, which is undoubtedly part of what makes their style so appealing to people around the world. This penchant for timeless style also applies to their denim choices. That said, while they wear the classics, they also make room for more trend-forward styles. And as you've probably noticed, French women love wearing jeans both day and night year-round, so there's plenty of room for denim diversity.
I've been aBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing editor for 10 years, which translates to a lot of time spent looking at French outfits on Instagram. Because of this, I'm pretty confident in saying that I've pinpointed the exact denim styles French women own—many of which they've been wearing for years. Scroll on to see examples of the jeans and shop versions of the styles for your own denim collection.
Polished Dark Denim
It's not surprising that French women are all about these tailored jeans. They make any outfit they're paired with look smart, and they even look appropriate for the office or evening activities.
Shop the style:
Wide-Leg
Wide-leg jeans are a go-to for the French when they want something a bit more casual and comfortable—but still chic.
Shop the style:
Classic Straight-Leg
This one needs no explanation, but if I had to name one denim style that literally everyone in Paris owns, it would be classic straight-leg jeans. They go with everything, and that matters.
Shop the style:
100% Cotton Flare
Flared jeans—especially of 100% cotton construction—lend a vintage quality to outfits that French women love.
Shop the style:
Washed Black
Black jeans are a key element in a denim wardrobe, and the specific type that the French seem to favor is of the washed black variety.
Shop the style:
Dark-Wash Skinny
Say what you want about skinny jeans, but they're classic and nothing looks better with knee boots. You're likely to still find a pair or two in every French woman's closet—especially in dark denim.
